FormscanBy Gary Carson - PEPPER NOIR handled the step up to this trip really well here 16 days ago and may be able to follow up. The Outstrip filly was pressed late on then by Tudor Manor but was a cosy enough winner and is fancied to defy a 6lb rise. Enough Already was trying to defy a 7lb penalty in that race but could only finish fourth. He remains on the same mark now and is capable of getting closer. Pralognan has been knocking on the door and could be place material again. His trainer Tony Martin also saddles Sir Callisto and Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking for that horse so market moves could be noteworthy.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (75 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
